Told to rest it. Handed a diagnosis and little else. Told to come back in six weeks if it still hurts. If that is where you are, you are in the right place. Every condition on this page is evaluated hands on by a Doctor of Physical Therapy who stays with you the full session, finds what is actually driving the symptom, and treats that instead of the sore spot. Massachusetts has direct access, so you can start without a physician referral, though some plans still require one for coverage and we check that before your first visit. Find what you are living with below.

The reason most people walk through our door. We find the driver, not just the sore spot.

Stiffness, strain, and nerve symptoms that follow you from desk to pillow.

Rotator cuff, frozen shoulder, and overhead pain: mobility first, then strength that holds.

Loaded, staged recovery for the cuff, with or without surgery.

Bursitis, labral tears, arthritis, and runner’s knee treated at the mechanics, not the ache.

Sprains, Achilles pain, and stiffness that changes how your whole leg loads.

The first-step-in-the-morning pain, and the calf and foot mechanics behind it.

Tennis elbow, carpal tunnel, and grip problems that make small tasks miserable.

When more than one joint hurts, the pattern matters as much as the joint.

Arthritic joints respond to the right loading. Rest alone makes them worse.

Pain that outlasted the injury needs a different plan than pain that just started.

From the acute injury through the return-to-sport test you actually have to pass.

Pre-hab, post-op rehab, and the strength and control testing before you go back.

Motion, quad strength, and confident walking after a total knee.

Restoring gait, hip strength, and stair confidence after a total hip.

When walking has stopped feeling automatic, we retrain the systems behind it.

Room-spinning episodes and positional dizziness that often resolve faster than people expect.

Pelvic and lower-abdominal pain treated privately by clinicians trained for it.

Swelling management that reduces volume and protects the limb long term.

Whatever brought you here, the care is the same: a Doctor of Physical Therapy, one on one, for the whole session, and all four clinicians at Maritime hold that degree. That is what lets us treat the cause instead of the symptom. The person who tests your hip is the person who treats it and the person who progresses it, so nothing is lost between the evaluation and the exercise, and the plan is grounded in the best available evidence rather than in whatever worked for the last patient. Then it gets fitted to your life, your work and your sport, and it changes as you change. Most patients notice improvement within about six visits, on a typical plan of two to three visits a week for four to six weeks.
